Okabashi: Spring 2012 collection
a range of colors, but always Green
December 1, 2011- ATLANTA- This spring, Okabashi, the leading U.S. manufacturer of environmentally friendly comfort footwear is excited to launch the new “a range of colors, but always Green” campaign.
The campaign, which launches in April 2012 is the opportunity to reintroduce to the public that not only are Okabashi shoes beneficial to your health, but are beneficial to the environment as well!
Okabashi has spent the last 28 years working on a material that is comfortable, durable, and recyclable. This focus coupled with the company’s internal lean manufacturing culture has rendered the manufacturing facility virtually waste free.
The result: this year alone Okabashi was able to reintroduce and reuse over 100,000 lbs of scrap shoes. That is 10 tractor-trailers full of scrap that would have otherwise been sent to a landfill or have ended up in our oceans.
All Okabashi shoes are made in Buford, GA. By producing domestically, Okabashi is drastically limiting the fuel necessary to transport shoes from the factory to consumers. In fact, Okabashi shoes travel an average of 700 miles compared to imports, which travel 10,000 miles on average to get to a typical US home. This means a huge reduction in our carbon footprint.
Okabashi’s unbeatable features:
• 100% recyclable and contains 30% recycled material (Good for the Planet)
• Supportive with a massaging insole that helps relieve foot and back pain. (Good for YOU)
• Guaranteed for 2 years & all styles less then $20 (Good for your pocket!)
• Made in the USA -Buford, GA to be exact! (Good for the U.S.)
• Dishwasher-safe and machine washable (Good for clean shoes)
• Antimicrobial agents and odor resistant (Good to prevent bacteria)
• Anti-slip (Good for locker room showers)
• Completely water-proof (Good for longevity)
• The ONLY shoe endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association (Good to be noticed!)
